About Us

Hello there,

We are Dorset Nectar Cider, founded and run by the Strong family.

About Dorset Nectar

Dorset Nectar is an organic family-run cider farm tucked away in the wild beauty of West Dorset, near Bridport. Each year we harvest apples from our own organically managed orchard and carefully craft them into award-winning ciders, apple juices, vinegars, and other orchard products.

Our approach honours traditional cider-making practices: we use whole-pressed, sun-ripened apples grown without pesticides, ferment with natural yeasts, and blend from a range of heritage cider-apple varieties to create ciders with real character.

Beyond the bottles, we invite visitors to join us at the farm: stroll through the orchard during our regular cider orchard tours, enjoy a tasting in our Cider Garden or Tasting Room, camp between the trees and discover the natural rhythms of our working farm, from the buzzing bees to free-range hens, dogs and orchard trees.

At Dorset Nectar, we believe in simple values: family, sustainability, community, and quality. We hope you enjoy every sip as much as we enjoy making it.
